United Oil, a retail gas company with more than 120 locations, used DSL connections at its stations for their Point-of-Sale system, employee applications, ATMs, pump sensors, and inventory control. The costs for their DSL varied dramatically between stations. The company needed to ensure that they had sufficient bandwidth to run the many custom applications they had developed, including a cloud-based time keeping system, a centralized back office system used to control PoS and product promotions, and an inventory control system. United Oil deployed Cradlepoint Primary Connect solutions for cost-effective connectivity. Pairing Cradlepoint’s solutions with 4G LTE service, the stations now have sufficient bandwidth to run all their applications and the company no longer uses wired connections at most facilities. With Cradlepoint’s centralized remote management software, United Oil’s IT department monitors and troubleshoots connectivity issues remotely without sending an IT employee on site. “We’ve identified a way to not only optimize the technology in almost all of our stores but also to add more money to our bottom line in the process.” –BILL DE LA ESPRIELLA, UNITED OIL DIRECTOR OF TECHNOLOGY
